Former televangelist Tammy Faye Messner, formerly Tammy Faye Bakker, posted Tuesday on her website (service is currently unavailable) a message about her health.

Messner, 65, reports that doctors have stopped treating her cancer. She was diagnosed with colon cancer in 1996 and announced in 2004 that the disease had spread to her lungs.

“I am down weight-wise to 65 pounds, and look like a scarecrow,” the Charlotte resident shared on her site. “I need God’s miracle to swallow. I look at young people and wish with all my heart for just one day of ‘feeling great.’”

Messner, whose daughter and daughter’s friends are taking care of her while her husband, Roe Messner, is off building churches, went on to write, “the doctors have stopped trying to treat the cancer and so now it’s up to God and my faith. And that’s enough!”

Divorced from Jim Bakker in 1992 while he was serving a sentence for financial fraud, Messner is half of the famous Bakker pair that founded a Christian retreat in Fort Mill, S.C., and built a multimillion-dollar evangelism empire. She also starred on the VH1 reality show Surreal Life and is the author of several books, among them her recent I Will Survive…and You Will Too!
